To place a call using Kentucky Relay, dial 711 or one of the toll-free numbers below:

SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST: Emergency Calls Please note that 711 is only to be used to reach Kentucky Relay. In an EMERGENCY, you should continue to use 911. For emergencies call 911 or your local emergency service TTY number directly, without using relay. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that 911 centers have a TTY and be prepared to handle emergency calls placed in this man- ner. Kentucky Relay will make every effort to assist you in an emergency. However, it is important to understand that relay centers are not 911 cen- ters, and do not assume responsibility for emergency calls. Equipment Distribution Program The Kentucky Commission of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) Tele- communications Access Program (TAP) provides residents of Kentucky who are deaf, hard of hearing, have difficulty speaking or have both a hearing and vision loss, with landline or wireless equipment to make communication on the telephone more accessible. For more information, visit www.kcdhh.org/oea/ tddprog.html or call 502-573-2604 (Voice) or 502-416-0607 (VP). This program, implemented by the Tennessee Regulatory Authority, will dis- tribute appropriate telecommunications devices so that persons who are deaf, deaf and blind, severely hard of hearing and vision-impaired or se- verely speech-impaired may effectively use basic telephone service. Devic- es are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, without charge. However, there are certain qualifiers that may enable individuals to receive devices on a priority basis. Information on distribution, eligibility requirements and qualifiers and an application may be found on the TRA website at www. tennrelay.com or by calling 1-800-342-8359 .

WHAT IS KENTUCKY RELAY? Kentucky Relay is a public service which guarantees all citizens ac- cess to prompt, professional and accurate communication through the telephone. Consumers of these specialized services, specifical- ly individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing or have diffi- culty speaking, can communicate on the telephone via TTY, Voice Carry Over (VCO), Hearing Carry Over (HCO), Speech-to-Speech (STS), Spanish-to-Spanish and Captioned Telephone in order to connect with family, friends or businesses with ease. HOW DOES KENTUCKY RELAY WORK? Simply dial 711 or the appropriate toll-free number provided to connect with Kentucky Relay. A qualified Communication Assis- tant (CA) will ask for the area code and number of the person you wish to call and begin the relay call. Generally, the CA will voice the typed message from the text telephone (TTY) user to you. The CA relays your voiced message by typing it to the TTY user. SPECIALIZED SERVICES: Kentucky Relay offers specialized services for individuals who have difficulty speaking and for Spanish-speaking residents. Specially trained CAs are on hand to assist in these types of calls by dialing the associat- ed number provided. Since Kentucky Relay offers a variety of services, please refer to the website listed or call Kentucky Relay Customer Care for more detailed instruction on how a particular call is processed. CAPTIONED TELEPHONE (CTS): CTS is also available and ideal for individuals with hearing loss who are able to speak for themselves. A captioned telephone works like any other telephone with an essential difference: it allows users to listen to their phone conversations while reading word-for-word cap- tions of what’s said to them. ACCESS TO SERVICES: Both 711 and the 800 numbers are toll-free calls and provide access to the same relay services. If you are experiencing trouble dialing 711 to reach Kentucky Relay, please call Kentucky Relay Customer Care. All TRS and English Captioned Telephone services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Spanish Captioned Telephone is available daily from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. EST or 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CST. Consumers may place relay calls to English- and Spanish-speaking persons within Kentucky, across the United States and even internationally. By law, each conversation is han- dled with strict confidentiality.
